A finely illustrated survey of modern dress watches that presents  how this genre has evolved. It is aimed at discerning readers who love fine mechanical formal timepieces.

In the world of horology, many trends are transient, but dress-style watches have always appealed to a broad demographic. Here are featured numerous modern interpretations from this genre. Movie idols of the silver screen wore elegant timepieces, and these types of exquisite watches perfectly complement modern ultra-fitted tailoring. Certainly, at formal events, this style of timepiece is an absolute prerequisite. Previously, gold, steel, and silver were the main materials used in traditional watchmaking. Modern brands are opting for more-contemporary choices such as bronze, carbon, and even sapphire crystal. Timeless Classics is probably the most comprehensive book of this type. It features numerous modern interpretations from this genre that illustrate exceptional design merit. As well as selections from the large groups (LVMH, Richemont, Swatch) there are many small microbrands, all presented in high-quality images.
